That is one of the coolest looking bikes I have ever seen...you see loads of modded Harleys and you can normally tell what the original bike is/was, not the case here!!!

Just curious what pipes those are...???

The pipes are joker machine chopper pipes. They are discontinued but years ago I wanted a set if i ever got a softail and I was lucky to find a set brand new about 3 months ago.

Just a friendly jester from a former NAVY SEABEE. You did notice the sailor's hat on her head. Right?

Hi Bradley. Been lurking for a while but joined when I came across this thread and your bike. I recently purchased an '88 Heritage Softail and I'm planning almost the EXACT modifications that you did to your AMAZING bike. I've already ordered the offset kit from Heartland to get my transmission done. Will order the remainder of the kit when finances (and my wife) allow it. I've been looking for a springer front end to use on the bike but haven't found one that I've liked yet. Yours is perfect & exactly what I want. Could you please list the specs (manufacturer, length, trail, rake, etc). Thanks so much in advance. And thanks for posting your bike. If I had any doubts that I could turn my FLST into my vision, your bike elimated them!
